Just then, the Adjuchas seemed to instinctively sense an intense aura of danger from Unohana Retsu.
So, rather than blindly attacking on instinct as before, it planted all eight legs firmly into the ground as another enormous crimson orb of light slowly formed before its mask.
Cero!!
"Teacher, watch out! Cero!!!"
Witnessing this, Chiba Makoto looked utterly horrified and actually struggled to get up, as if he intended to risk his life to shield Unohana Retsu from the attack.
However, Makoto's halfhearted, feeble struggle came to a complete stop when Unohana Retsu lightly pressed her slender, fair palm against his chest.
The next instant, the enormous Cero surged toward them with an aura that promised annihilation.
Yet Unohana Retsu merely raised one hand behind her and casually gave it a slap.
"Pfft~"
The Cero that had completely overwhelmed more than thirty Soul Reapers of the Tenth Division was effortlessly scattered just like that.
Moreover, as Unohana Retsu used Kaido on Makoto, the other hand she had raised toward the Adjuchas emitted a terrifying blue radiance.
Though she appeared entirely focused on healing Makoto, Unohana Retsu softly recited.
"Destructive Art No. 88: Hiryū Gekizoku Shinten Raihō!"
"BOOM!!!"
It was a torrent of azure lightning at its utmost extreme, one of the high-level Destructive Arts with the most devastating power...
Even cast without an incantation, the endless torrent of lightning still blanketed everything within Makoto's field of vision.
It also slightly lifted the Captain's Haori of Unohana Retsu, who was half-kneeling before Makoto with her head lowered, making her refined, intelligent features seem both breathtakingly beautiful and terrifying.
As Teacher Unohana's disciple, I really shouldn't have too much of a rebellious phase...
Makoto watched in stunned shock as the torrent of lightning gradually dissipated, and the Adjuchas was utterly obliterated from the
